first off, i'll state mods so nobody thinks i'm lying. i have a boost controller, set at about 14psi, ported 2nd gen exhaust manifold, rewired fuel pump, and a few other things. his bike was brand new, and completely stock. now on to the race :)

i was sitting at a stoplight on a highway near my house (yes kansas highways have stoplights... what a wonderful state!) and this kid is next to me on a brand new bike. i give him a rev, and he just looks over and nods... anyways, it was a murder. i killed him! through first gear, i stalled the launch, and he got a few quick carlengths on me. i restarted my car, and off i was. first went by quick, and i was still a bit behind him. second gear came, and i pulled even with him and started pulling away. by the time i shifted to 3rd gear, i was about a hundred feet in front of him (no joke). by the time 4th gear came, i was about a half mile ahead of him. yes, he was racing me, and yes i killed him. maybe next time he'll peddle faster :p

LOL! i figured that by my last statement of "maybe next time he'll peddle faster" it was pretty clear the dude was on a bicycle! i did stall on the launch, but my car has(had) some crazy hesitation, which is why i was shifting at about 4k the whole time :) it was a shiny blue 18speed... that'll put him in his place ;) now, i put the lower honeycomb back in, and the hesitation is gone, the knock is completely gone, and i can feel safe shifting over 4k again :D

bring on the v8's! :D

Yeah I feel dumb. I saw it the first time, but I thought that was a joke about a motorcycle being slow. I was also looking for the type of bike you listed. I guess I just never bothered racing a bike/skateboard/rollerblader/grandma with walker. As funny as you think it is, you got OWNED all the way through 1st, now thats FUNNY:D :rudolph:

yeah, i live in kansas city. i frequent about a dozen different areas of it, but mostly overland park, shawnee, lenexaish, leavenworth, lawrence, and about anywhere in between, or within 20 miles of any of the above listed. yeah, i drive a lot :) i haven't met any dsm drivers yet since i've owned my car (about 2 months), but would be down to meet whoever :) email me at zunguzunguzeng@yahoo.com if you're ever out my way... (don't ask about the name... unless you listen to reggae you probably wouldn't understand anyways :))


and yes, i did get owned in first gear by a bicycle :D that happens when you kill the car. now that problem is fixed :happy:
